Communications From Blogger Re OST Content


In total I received 6 communications in regards to this blog. This blog was taken down shortly after I lost access to WYM. WYM was locked for 18 days, while OST was locked a lot longer. In total OST was locked for 53 days.

Your blog titled "http://oligarchicstoogetalk.blogspot.com/" has been reinstated. Hello, We have re-evaluated your blog ... Upon review, the blog has been reinstated. ... Thank you for understanding. Sincerely, The Blogger Team.

This is BS. Note that the final message (concerning reinstatment) says "Thank you for understanding". I do not understand. How could I? Why was my blog flagged for hate? How, if there was hate on my blog, could I pass a reevaluation and be reinstated? I didn't remove any "hate". Yet they gave my blog back. Though with no, "we're sorry, there was no hate on your blog after all. We made a mistake".

Or, "our algorithms made a mistake. Your blog never should have been flagged. We are working to improve our algorithms". Naah. Nothing. Oh, and that post that was put behind a warning for "sensitive content"? That was in regards to me quoting the blogger Willis Hart. A commentary from his blog where he says "c0ck-suckers" in 1913 are responsible for there being a federal income tax. A fact he doesn't like.

It appears that, once you get a "sensitive content" warning applied to a post, you just have to live with it. What I read said I could revise the post to remove the sensitive content and then the post would be immediately reevaluated and (if you're good) the warning removed. But I tried that (in regards to several posts that were put behind sensitive content warnings) and no "reevaluation" occurred that I saw any evidence of.

In regards to the OST post that got flagged (it had no comments) so I just deleted it. I made some changes then republished it. I had another post that got flagged on WYM (which was Mystere's fault) and that one had comments attached. Meaning, if I delete it I will lose the comments.

I made some changes and published it a second time. There are now two copies. One (with comments) that is behind a warning. Also a second copy that, so far, has not been flagged. I copied over the comments and appended them to the post. That way, if anyone has trouble getting past the warning (and I have had trouble with Blogger not wanting to give me access to my own content AT ALL) they can view the second copy.

Not that I think my blog has ANY readers. I just write for my own enjoyment. And I definitely don't think anyone is going back into the WYM archives to read posts from 2018. Which is when the censored post was published. Although Blogger didn't decide until 6+ years after it was published that they found the content objectionable.

btw, that word still exists in the post on the Hartster's blog. G00gle didn't sensor him. Though, most of the time I see that he writes "cork sucker".
